<p>Includes an external Microsoft project in the generated workspace
file.  Currently does nothing on UNIX.  This will create a target
named <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[projectname]</span></code>.  This can be used in the <span class="target" id="index-0-command:add_dependencies"></span><a class="reference internal" href="add_dependencies.html#command:add_dependencies" title="add_dependencies"><code class="xref cmake cmake-command docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">add_dependencies()</span></code></a>
command to make things depend on the external project.</p>
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">TYPE</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GUID</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PLATFORM</span></code> are optional parameters that allow one to
specify the type of project, id (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">GUID</span></code>) of the project and the name of
the target platform.  This is useful for projects requiring values
other than the default (e.g.  WIX projects).</p>
<p>If the imported project has different configuration names than the
current project, set the <span class="target" id="index-0-prop_tgt:MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_&lt;CONFIG&gt;"></span><a class="reference internal" href="../prop_tgt/MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_CONFIG.html#prop_tgt:MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_&lt;CONFIG&gt;" title="MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_&lt;CONFIG&gt;"><code class="xref cmake cmake-prop_tgt docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MAP_IMPORTED_CONFIG_&lt;CONFIG&gt;</span></code></a>
target property to specify the mapping.</p>
